Default Need Help with my Brakes!!!!

I got my brake pads changed about 2 weeks ago and its been more then 500 miles and I did'nt use them harshly at all. Last night on my way back from work I nearly hit a stupid dog and I slammed on the brakes really hard causing me to squeal, leaving tire marks behind. They smelled bad but I figured it would be ok the next day. And they were but on my way to pick up my bro hey just started to smell, with out me even braking. And now it feels like they are way out, cuz even if I press them all the way it wont stop. Has anyone else experienced this?

have you bled the brakes lately? check your fluid level and check your brake lines on the wheels u worked on. no leaks?

yep, this happened to my friend's car. if your pedal goes down all the way might have leaks in your brake lines, you might be low on brake fluid, your master cylinder (on ur brake) might have gotten messed up, or you need to reflush your brake system.
try bleeding your brake fluid, check your fluid level, check for leaks, and if that doesn't work, try reflushing your brake fluid.
